(For none inveigh against poetic measures
But those that never had Pandora's treasures)
Yet such a shoal of ignorants I find,
'Tis thought the greater part o' th' world is blind;
That, maugre all my scourges, in the dark
60Against the Muses they will snarl and bark.
Let wingèd-sandalled Hermes post to call
And summon them unto thy judgement hall,
That you may know their rage is want of brains.'
Hermes took post, and brought the silly trains.
